Doesn't matter. Get the K&N that fits your bike.

My brother and I just put the new micronic stainless steel re-usable oil filters with a cooler built in. They cost about 90 bucks and it's the last one you need to buy. WE PRIMARILY WENT THIS WAY TO BE ABLE TO SEE IF ANY PLASTIC BITS FROM THE CAN TENSIONER SHOES ARE IN THE OIL, WHICH INDICATES THAT IF NOT FIXED YOUR MOTOR IS GOING TO BE DESTROYED...DO A SEARCH ON HERE, LOTS OF FOLKS HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN...THE CAN CHAIN TENSIONERS ARE A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN...Ride safe.

To answer your question, I believe there are two for the big twins. For some reason the touring motors and the 'B' motors have a different part number. Don't know what the difference is though.

To answer ur questions.


1... several, depending on Ur bike..

2... NO....


Quit over thinking this.... just go to U dealer and buy a filter made for U bike.


the HD filter isn't as much as most aftermarket filters and U don't have to worry about all the other chit..

It ain't Rocket Science...
